Geordie Greep Cancels U.S. Shows After Flyered Rape Allegation

Cancellations show rapid tour disruption with refunds to ticket-holders alongside European dates still on sale

Overview

  • On Oct. 8, an attendee handed out flyers outside the Pearl in Vancouver accusing Geordie Greep of rape but the flyers provided no location, named accuser, or further details.
  • Greep addressed the crowd that night, said a late house-party encounter was a misunderstanding, apologized for making someone uncomfortable and denied that he was a rapist.
  • He performed a shortened solo set without his backing band, pledged to donate the Vancouver show’s proceeds to a British Columbia anti-violence group, and offered refunds to anyone who left.
  • Following the Vancouver incident, venues notified ticket-holders that five U.S. shows were cancelled and refunded, while one U.S. date in Des Moines and an early-November European run remain listed for sale.
  • As of Oct. 11, Greep and his reps have not issued a separate formal statement and there are no publicly reported police reports or legal developments, with coverage relying largely on attendee accounts and venue communications.
